Language barrier

[Dieselboy]

Working on a network-y issue with a vendor. We agreed the issue was not at the appliance so I would go away and figure it out and come back if I needed anything. He sends a summary email to our group email address:

Hi Tony,

Tks for uploading systemdump/tcpdump/screenshots.


I felt that you are not clear what kind of role(TCP proxy) [appliance] is doing and want to point out that [appliance] is related with slowness.
If you have issue with [appliance], can you raise pinpointed issue?
I will investigate your pinpointed issue more.

So I've absolutely no idea, apparently 

The big boss got this email as well

This message is clear as crystal glasses, for the certainty. Study of networks is the difficults, sure you can be awareness. Pinpointed issues are how we solve problems. This is how we are the hunters, how we are making the baffle of experts.

If you do not pinpointed issue, you are no better than CCIE written but expire!

he wants you to tell him what the issue is.


"You appear not to know the role of this device, and I'm saying the device is related to the slowness.
If you have an issue with the device, tell me exactly what it is, and I will investigate."

"It's slow. Please get rid of the slow. Thank you in advance."

I should look up that guy's resume again, see if it's gotten any better over time.

The fact that he had Windows NT training in 2000 is still on there

I asked if the device had debugging or similar that would help identify protocol issue. What I didn't want is to simply take logs / captures and send to him for him to analyse. That's boring and is my responsibility

broken english is worse than no english at all. Why?
No English, you move on to talk to someone else who is good communicator.
Broken English is like a rabbit hole, trying to understand what is trying to say rather than concentrating on actual issue.

I was told I can be anything, so I decided to become awareness.

He's still got his battle cry up there.

"Spiderman once said : "With Great power comes great responsibility."

The Hunter tracks the hacker, we are led to believe, using his wits, cunning, and instinct. It is this hunter instinct that many companies are looking for. An Instinct, that I possess, in a number of different levels from IP address to street address, to locating photographers of particular photos, to building intrusion proof networks, and rock solid stable computers for long term usage."

Solid Gold. I doubt the belkin thread of the year will ever be surpassed

Got one of my own yesterday,  working with HP, having issues running policy checks in Network Automation (to validate the CMP vulnerability)

after some back and forth, HP wrote back
